ill try and make it... if the car is back on the road by then, does anyone have a set of stock rims with rubber that i might be able to use for the cruise, i wont be a hoon and do burnout and stuff. just i gota buy new rims that are 1900 and dont have the money right now.

I can't be 100% but if my car is out of the shop and in a drivable condition (ie it could be out of rego and not yet engineered) I will be in.

Haven't had a chance to cruise with any SAUers yet :(

Just out of interest considering I don't live near Thornleigh will there be a sub-cruise coming from Sydney or Northern Beaches to the Thornleigh meeting spot I could tag along with?

give me a ride in the passenger seat pleeeaassseee - that way i can tag along with you from beaches > thornleigh - hehehe :)

wouldnt mind seeing how the ceffy goes either! oh, and i'll put in for fuel moneyyyyyy!

Ive never seen cops on that stretch before. Sometimes there is the Wisemans local cop cruising around the picninc area in his Land Cruiser but not on Old Northern. Not that i m saying we should be flooring it all the way there, just saying that people shouldn't worry about speed cameras, rbts and other random nuisances from the blues boys.

we're not staying on old northern... we'll be going through galston gorge to old northern... then jumping onto cattai ridge road... around past riverside oaks, then back onto old northern... just for more bends and a longer cruise... (i quite like cattai ridge rd! :) ).. so yeah.... i'll try and make a map to hand out to peeps so noone gets lost! :P

nope!!  its not a race...

Mona, everytime you drive, it's a race :)

Your car's accelerator pedal is a binary device. It's either "ON" or "FULLY SIK ON" :burnout:

Wow, a 3 hour cruise (one way)! I'd hope its a good drive at least D:

Re: the ferry, how many cars does it hold? It would suck to have to wait on the bank for the duration of one trip before ferry comes back for the rest of us D:

BTW, Ive never been there before so I have no clue what to expect :)

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
